Welcome to my blog page!

Hello friends. Welcome to my new blog page. I wanted a spot where I could tell everyone about my website designs. This seemed like a great place to start.

In the early 1990's a met someone who taugh me the basics of designing webpages. Once I started I was hooked! I started making pages for friends and love pages where people could just visit and enjoy the pictures and music there. From that point on I couldn't get enough of this.

I began teaching myself html to start hand coding each site I designed. I found sites on various components of website design that were right up my alley. Since I already had a degree in Advertising Art and Design I could visualize what I wanted the finished product to look like.

About four years ago my cousin asked me to help her design a website for her business and although I hadn't had designed for a business yet I agreed to creating one for her.

A few years back my sister persuded her passion of becomming an author and getting published and she approached me on designing a website for her. The first site challenged my creativity and I was proud of my early accomplishments in the field. Since they I had redesigned her site twice. The lastest version of Gail's website can be viewed at http://www.gaildeyoung.com/ please feel free to have a look.

I am proud of what I have accomplished as a designer and look forward to creating many more sites for
anyone interested in my work. I take pride in providing unique and stylish websites for my clients. I would love to do more author sites, actor sites, photography sites, sylist sites, whatever you have in mind. Whatever your job or hobby is i'm up for the challenge.

Please feel free to contact me.
